Camp outside the city.
Wasn't it Qin Ye who stayed awake all night?
Inside the tent, candlelight was bright and the table was filled with all kinds of medicines. Miaojiang Wu Nu was skillfully fiddling with the herbs and developing an antidote.
Zong Zhengyu stood at the entrance of the tent with his hands behind his back, looking at the dim night and gazing towards Dongning City two miles away.
Such a big city, with hundreds of thousands of people, was as silent as hell.
Everyone is infected, it's so hopeless.
"Speed up, I must get the antidote before dawn." He gave the order without turning his head, his deep voice as cold as the night.
Wu Nu lowered his head and said, "Yes."
At this time, outside, a guard came running in quickly:
"Report - Your Highness, King Chen is here!"
Zong Zhengyu raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
Three o'clock in the morning?
Come to see him?
Wu Nu was a very smart woman with good eyesight. She pulled the slender white curtain to cover her study table and hid behind the screen.
Zong Zhengyu returned to the main seat and just sat down when he saw a dark figure walking into the tent in the chill of the night.
Eyes as sharp as an eagle shot straight at me.
In an instant, the air seemed to condense a little.
"Brother, from the beginning to the end, I never wanted to compete with you for anything, let alone snatch anything from you!"
Zong Zhengchen came straight to the point, speaking sharply and sharply.
"If my elder sister knew what you did, not only would she be disappointed, but my father would be disappointed too."
The Crown Prince used Ling Qianyi as a threat because he saw that Prince Chen valued family affection.
However, he would not admit to the kidnapping.
"Seventh brother is here," he waved his hand, "Seventh brother, I know you are worried about Qian Yi's whereabouts, and I am worried too."
He sighed:
"He was staying well with me, but I don't know who kidnapped him. I have sent people to look for him. I am very anxious. If you know Qian Yi's whereabouts, please remember to inform me in time."
He sighed worriedly, as if he really didn't know anything.
Han Feng, who was standing behind King Chen, heard this and secretly spit:
Pooh!
They captured the prince's men and prepared to interrogate them. The prince was worried about being exposed, so he used Ling Qianyi to threaten them.
Low-handed!
shameless!
Zong Zhengchen looked directly at the prince, parted his thin lips, and spoke word by word:
"You know what you did."
The expression on Zong Zhengyu's face froze slightly, but it turned into a smile in just a moment. He placed his big hand on the stool and held the armrest carelessly, with a deep smile in his eyes:
"Seventh brother, this really confuses me."
"Qian Yi is my nephew, and his mother is my biological sister. Can I still kidnap him?"
He practiced Tai Chi with a half-smile on his face.
The content of the anonymous letter was very clear:
Before dawn, leave Dongning City and release Ling Qianyi.
Otherwise, it will be fatal.
Who else but the prince would write such a threatening letter?
"Brother, don't force me." Zong Zhengchen's face was expressionless, and his voice was as calm as dead water. "In my heart, family affection has always been better than power, but if this family affection is not worth protecting, I would rather give it up."
If you don't get anything in return for your efforts, just give it up.
He has been tolerant.
Over and over again, what is he?
Zong Zhengyu smiled helplessly: "Seventh brother, what do you mean by that? We have always been good brothers, haven't we? Why are things suddenly so awkward?"
He spread his hands in confusion, his face full of doubt.
Pack.
Still pretending.
His pretending to be stupid made Zong Zhengchen feel colder and colder.
Zong Zhengchen spoke directly:
"Vice General Hou is your man, right? Five months ago, when I led my troops to the border, you ordered him to betray the military secrets, which almost caused my entire army to be wiped out."
After these words came out, Zong Zhengyu's mouth slightly curved...
